Windows 10: Dictionary in Word?

Good evening all, I am using the latest edition of Word. I've managed to add the Thesarus icon onto the Quick Access bar but I can't do the same for a dictionary. I want to use the dictionary to learn the meaning of selected words, as opposed to adding words to the grammar dictionary. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

How to delete the wrong predictive words from Nokia E63?

Dear Friends,

By mistake I have entered some wrong predictive words into the Nokia’s dictionary (most probably in the custom dictionary of the phone). Now, the wrong words come every time I type the similar word and its very troublesome.

Please suggest how to delete only the wrong words from the predictive dictionary. I don’t want to reset the whole dictionary because some useful words are also there.

I am finding for a solution like the MS Word, which gives to edit its custom dictionary in a user interface.

T9 dictionary

I have words that have been added to my T9 dictionary that I want to get rid of. Presumably it's not possible to edit the dictionary. Is it possible to delete the dictionary of added words so the handset reverts to the standard dictionary? Thanks.

 

Being new to this forum and to Windows 10 too, I'm not sure if the absence of any replys to this thread of mine is down to the way I've posed the question or whether it is so fundamentally obvious that it makes me seem like a bit of a fool. Anyway, can I ask again in a slightly different way: On the taskbar in an earlier version of Windows (with Vista OS) there were two icons, one for Thesarus and one for Encarta dictionary. On this latest Word version I have found the Thesarus and put it on the taskbar, but try as I might I cannot find any dictionary. Does anyone know how it can be accessed please? Kind regards to all.

 

Are you using Word 2016?

You could go to Insert > My Add-ins > See All and it will take you to the Office Store.

From there you can search and add a dictionary and it will then appear in "My Add-ins".

 

Thank you so much 1x07. I've put the Collins Dictionary into My Add-ins and I've put an icon for it on the quick access toolbar. When I click that icon it takes me to the list of add-ons and I then have to click the Collins Dictionary tab to get it open. Is there any way I can avoid having to do two moves? Can it be set up so that the Dictionary opens by just clicking the tookbar icon? Kind regards to you and many thanks for your help.
